Booker T. Washington believed that blacks should accommodate to racial prejudice and focus on self-improvement through hard work.

This therefore supports his idea that blacks should focus on an economic skill and not focus on the separation and prejudice in society.
In Washington's famous "Atlanta Compromise" speech, he outlines his theory of accommodation. He essentially argued that blacks must find their place in society, a place that whites did not want to occupy.
